# Points and Airdrop Program

### 8.1 Program Rationale

The Parallelshots points program is intentionally **time-constrained and intensity-weighted**. Rather than incentivizing long-term passive farming, the program is designed to concentrate activity into a narrow window, accelerating market formation, liquidity provisioning, and adversarial testing of the protocol under real conditions. This approach mirrors the realities of memecoin markets, where attention and liquidity arrive rapidly and dissipate just as quickly.

The program duration is fixed at **14 calendar days**. This duration is not extendable, and no points accrue outside the defined window. Scarcity of time is treated as a first-class design parameter to encourage urgent participation and to produce a meaningful usage snapshot prior to token generation.

***

### 8.2 Eligible Activities

Points are accrued through actions that contribute directly to protocol utility:

```
EligibleActions :=
  { trade_execution,
    liquidity_provision,
    market_creation,
    sustained_position_management }
```

Each action generates points according to a weighted function rather than raw volume.

For a user `u`:

```
Points[u] :=
  Σ action_weight[a] * activity_score[u,a]
```

Where `activity_score` is normalized to penalize circular or low-impact behavior.

***

### 8.3 Trading Contribution Scoring

Trading points are computed using notional exposure adjusted for time and risk:

```
TradeScore[u] :=
  Σ trades (
    notional(trade) *
    time_held_factor(trade) *
    risk_factor(trade)
  )
```

High-frequency churn with negligible exposure duration is discounted to prevent wash-style farming.

***

### 8.4 Liquidity and Market Creation Bonuses

Liquidity providers receive points proportional to their **liquidity score** as defined in Section 7.

Market creators receive discrete bonuses for:

* Successfully activating a market
* Maintaining oracle validity
* Funding cadence continuity

```
CreatorBonus[m] :=
  base_bonus *
  funding_frequency_multiplier *
  uptime_factor
```

***

### 8.5 Snapshot and Finalization

At the end of day 14:

```
t_snapshot = program_start + 14 days
```

At `t_snapshot`:

* Points accumulation halts
* All balances are finalized
* A Merkle root of point allocations is computed and published on-chain

No retroactive adjustments are permitted.

***

### 8.6 Mapping to Airdrop Allocation

Points map deterministically to token allocation at TGE:

```
AirdropAllocation[u] :=
  TotalAirdrop *
  Points[u] /
  Σ Points[all_users]
```

There are no tiers, whitelists, or discretionary overrides. Allocation is purely proportional.

***

### 8.7 Program Termination Guarantees

Once the program concludes:

* Points cannot be transferred
* Points cannot be earned
* No new incentive programs are assumed

This ensures clarity, finality, and prevents expectation of perpetual farming incentives.
